SAVARIA CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT PROXY CIRCULAR
FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON MAY 7, 2026

  1. NOTICE AND ACCESS RULES

Savaria Corporation (the "Corporation") has elected to use the Notice and Access rules adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators to reduce the volume of paper in the meeting materials distributed for the annual general meeting of the shareholders (the "Meeting"). Instead of receiving this management proxy circular (the "Proxy Circular") with a proxy form or voting instruction form, shareholders will receive a notice of meeting (the "Notice of Meeting") with instructions on how to access the Meeting materials online. The Corporation sent the Notice of Meeting and proxy form (the "Proxy Form") directly to registered shareholders. The Corporation intends to pay for intermediaries to deliver the Notice of Meeting, voting instruction form and other Meeting materials to the non-registered shareholders.

The Circular and other relevant materials can be viewed on the Internet at www.savaria.com/our-company/investors or under the Corporation's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Any shareholder who would like to receive a printed copy of the Meeting materials by mail, at no cost, must request one no later than April 22, 2026. Any shareholder with a 15-digit control number who wishes to receive a paper copy of the Meeting materials may, at no cost, request printed copies by calling the toll-free number 1-866-962-0498 (if they are in North America), or by calling 514-982-8716 (if they are outside North America). Any shareholder with a 16-digit control number who wishes to receive a paper copy of the Meeting materials may, at no cost, request printed copies by calling the toll-free number 1-877-907-7643. To ensure that you receive the Meeting materials in advance of the voting deadline and Meeting date, all requests must be received no later than 10 business days before the Meeting to ensure timely receipt. If you request a paper copy of the Meeting materials, another Proxy Form or Voting Instruction Form, they will not be sent to you, so please retain the one received with the Notice of Meeting for voting purposes. To obtain a printed copy of the documents after the Meeting date, please call 514-982-7563.

  1. VOTING INFORMATION

2.1 Solicitation of Proxies

This Proxy Circular is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Management of the Corporation for use at the Meeting of the Corporation to be held at Le Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel, in the Jarry-Joyce and Musset rooms, located at 1201, boul. René-Lévesque Ouest, Montreal, Québec, on May 7, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. (EDT) and at any adjournments of the Meeting, for the purposes set out in the accompanying Notice of the Meeting. The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but may also be by telephone or oral communications by the directors, officers and regular employees of the Corporation, at no additional compensation. The costs of preparation and mailing of the Notice of Meeting, the Proxy Circular and the Proxy Form as well as any such solicitation referred to above will be borne by the Corporation.

2.2 Appointment of Proxy and Discretionary Authority

A shareholder has the right to designate a person or company (who need not be a shareholder of the Corporation) other than the individuals named on the Proxy Form enclosed, to attend and act on his or her behalf at the Meeting. Such right may be exercised by inserting, in the blank space provided, the name of the person or company to be designated and deleting therefrom the names of the management designees or by completing another proper instrument of proxy and in either case, depositing the resulting instrument of proxy at Computershare Investors Services, 14th Floor, 320 Bay Street, Toronto ON M5H 4A6, by 5:00 p.m. (EDT), on May 5, 2026. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed by the shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

All shares represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions of the shareholders on any ballot that may be called for and where a choice with respect to


any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the Proxy Form, the shares will be voted in accordance with such specification. In the absence of any such specifications, the management designees, if named as proxy, will vote IN FAVOUR of all matters set out therein. If a shareholder appoints a person designated in the Proxy Form or nominee, and where a choice with respect to any matters to be acted upon has not been specified, the Proxy Form will be voted IN FAVOUR of all the matters set out therein.

The enclosed Proxy Form, when properly signed, also confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting, or at any adjournment thereof. The management of the Corporation does not know of any matters which may be presented at the Meeting, other than the matters set out in the Notice of Meeting; but if other matters or amendments or variations do properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Proxy Form to vote such proxy according to their best judgment pursuant to the discretionary authority conferred by the Proxy Form with respect to such matters.

2.3 Revocation of Proxies

A shareholder or intermediary who has given a proxy, or his or her attorney authorized in writing, may revoke it as to any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by the proxy, by instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized in writing and deposited either at the registered office of the Corporation or the office of Computershare Investor Services, 14th floor, 320 Bay Street, Toronto ON M5H 4A6, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or with the Chairperson of such Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. In addition, a proxy may be revoked by the shareholder personally attending the Meeting and voting his or her shares.

2.4 Beneficial Holder of Shares

The information set out in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders of the Corporation, as a substantial number of the shareholders do not hold common shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their common shares in their own name (referred to in this Proxy Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of common shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If common shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those common shares will more likely be registered under the name of the broker or an agent of a broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as the nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common shares held by brokers or their nominees can only be voted upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholders. Without specific instructions, brokers/nominees are prohibited from voting common shares for their clients. The Corporation does not know for whose benefit the common shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders cannot be recognized at the Meeting for purposes of voting the common shares in person or by way of proxy, except as set out below.

Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that the common shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to that provided to registered shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder on how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder.

2


The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions ("Broadridge"). Broadridge typically mails a scannable Voting Instruction Form in lieu of the Proxy Form. The Beneficial Shareholder is asked to complete and return the Voting Instruction Form to them by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, the Beneficial Shareholder can call a toll-free number to vote the common shares held by the Beneficial Shareholder. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of common shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a Voting Instruction Form cannot use that Voting Instruction Form to vote common shares directly at the Meeting, as the Voting Instruction Form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the common shares votes. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and wish to vote in person at the Meeting, please contact your broker or agent well in advance of the Meeting to determine how you can do so.

2.5 Voting Shares and Principal Shareholders

The authorized capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of common shares, an unlimited number of First Preferred shares and an unlimited number of Second Preferred shares, of which 71,879,655 common shares were issued and outstanding as of March 27, 2026. There are no First Preferred or Second Preferred shares issued and outstanding at the date of this Proxy Circular.

Each common share entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters to come before the Meeting. No group of shareholders has the right to elect a specified number of directors, nor are there cumulative or similar voting rights attached to the common shares of the Corporation. The directors of the Corporation have established March 27, 2026, as the record date for determination of the persons entitled to receive notice of the Meeting.

Shareholders, as of the record date, are entitled to vote their common shares, except to the extent that they have transferred the ownership of any of their shares after the record date. The transferees of those common shares must produce properly endorsed share certificates or otherwise establish that they own the shares, and demand, not later than 10 days before the Meeting, that their name be included in the shareholders' list before the Meeting, in which case the transferees are entitled to vote their common shares at the Meeting.

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Corporation, the only persons beneficially owning or controlling, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all shares of the Corporation as of the date of this Proxy Circular are:

Person Number of Common Shares Owned, Controlled or Directed, Directly or Indirectly Percentage of Outstanding Common Shares
Marcel Bourassa 11,636,098 (1) 16.19%

(1) Of the 11,636,098 common shares indicated, 10,585,767 are held indirectly through Les Élevateurs Savaria Inc. (Mr. Bourassa holds 85% of the voting rights of the latter, the other 15% is held by his brother, Mr. Jean-Marie Bourassa), 327,931 are held through his holding company 9302-0071 Québec Inc., 336,500 are held indirectly through 9264-4582 Québec Inc. (the latter being a Corporation of which the voting rights are controlled 50-50 by Mr. Marcel Bourassa and Mr. Jean-Marie Bourassa), 250,000 are held through La Fondation Bourassa Savaria and 135,900 are held personally by Mr. Marcel Bourassa.

3. PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

3.1 Financial Statements and Auditor's Report

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the financial year ended on December 31, 2025, and the auditor's report thereon will be presented at the Meeting, but no vote thereon is required or expected. These consolidated financial statements were sent to all registered shareholders (except to those who informed the Corporation, in writing, that a copy of the consolidated financial statements was not wanted) and to the Beneficial Shareholders who requested a copy of such documents. The Corporation's consolidated financial statements are available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) as well as on the Corporation's website (www.savaria.com).

3.2 Election of Directors

The Corporation is required to have a minimum of three directors and a maximum of 12 directors. The board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board") has determined and fixed at 10 the number of directors to fulfill the Board's responsibilities. At the Meeting, it is proposed that 10 directors be elected to serve until the next shareholders' annual meeting or until their successors are elected or appointed in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) and the by-laws of the Corporation. All of the following nominees are incumbent directors of the Corporation who were elected to that position at last year's shareholders' annual meeting.

Unless otherwise directed, the Management representatives named in the accompanying Proxy Form intend to vote FOR the election as directors of the proposed nominees whose names are set forth below.

Director profiles

In the profiles presented on the following pages, equity ownership includes the value of the common shares the director beneficially owns or controls, directly or indirectly. Common shares are valued at $26.17, the closing price of our common shares on the TSX on March 27, 2026, and the stock options are valued according to the Black-Scholes model used when granted.

5. COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

5.1 Compensation Philosophy

The compensation philosophy for Named Executive Officers ("NEOs") is based on the performance and the achievement of predetermined objectives. The Corporation's compensation philosophy is a reflection of the entrepreneurial culture of Savaria, one where the financial interests of its executives are aligned with the performance of the Corporation. The compensation strategy includes variable components linked to short-term and long-term performance, which are more fully described in this Proxy Circular, but which are linked to the achievement of quantified financial objectives as well as quantifiable objectives tied to strategic activities that are key to the execution of the Corporation's business plan.

The compensation of NEOs and the participation in the profitability of the Corporation aim to maintain their competitive overall remuneration and to motivate them to perform so that the Corporation achieves its profitability objectives.

5.2 Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Board has created a Corporate Governance and Human Capital Committee (the "Committee") to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to matters of compensation, human resources and corporate governance. The Committee is composed of three independent members who are Mr. Alain Tremblay (the Chair), and Mmes. Caroline Bérubé and Anne Le Breton. For more information on their skills, please refer to their respective biographies in Section 3.2 and the Skill Matrix under Schedule A hereto.

This Committee has the responsibility of evaluating and making recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of the NEOs and members of the Board and the equity and incentive-based compensation plans, policies and programs of the Corporation. The Committee's ultimate objective is to provide a balance between the compensation components representing fixed and variable compensation for NEOs in order to place


emphasis on compensation elements linked to performance and accomplish the Corporation's compensation policy objective.

In determining compensation for the NEOs and members of the Board, the Committee uses as a reference the compensation practices of a peer group (the "Peer Group") of listed Canadian and U.S. companies of similar size in the retail and manufacturing industries. In addition to the foregoing, the Committee also reviews and assesses the compensation package of the Chief Executive Officer and NEOs, by conducting such review it considers appropriate. It reviews, among other things, the compensation packages for the prior year, the Committee's evaluation of individual performance, the Corporation's performance and relative shareholder return, the competitiveness of the compensation package, and the awards given in previous years. It should be noted that no member of the Committee serves as CEO of another company.

5.3 Compensation Consultants – Report on Compensation

During fiscal 2024 and 2025, the Committee retained the services of Gallagher for their expert advice in evaluating the competitiveness and appropriateness of the compensation programs of the Corporation for its NEOs. The mandate entrusted to Gallagher included, but was not limited to, advice on CEO's base salaries, annual bonus, total cash compensation, long-term incentive programs, total direct compensation, pension plans, social benefits, accessory benefits and provisions regarding employment. In connection with these services, Gallagher assisted the Committee with the review of its Peer Group (the positioning regarding compensation and performance, the performance measures, etc.), the design of the programs and the levels of compensation compared to market and made observations and suggestions regarding amendments where appropriate. During the fiscal years 2025 and 2024, the Corporation paid Gallagher a total of $23,000.

5.4 Peer Group Composition

Gallagher also reviewed and evaluated the pertinence of the Peer Group to be used for market benchmarking purposes. The Peer Group companies are selected in order to represent a theoretical talent market for the organization's NEOs and from this point of view the group's constituents is of great importance. The selection criteria employed to identify the companies to be included in the Peer Group were (i) companies competing in industries relating to the Corporation's such as retail, manufacturing and distribution; and (ii) companies with a financial footprint as measured by annual revenues of $590M to $2.6B; (iii) companies with a market capitalization from $260M to $4.6B.

The Peer Group approved by the Committee is comprised of the following companies:

Canada

  • Exchange Income Corp.
  • Magellan Aerospace Corp.
  • Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd.
  • Héroux-Devtek Inc.
  • GDI Integrated Facility Services
  • Adentra Inc.

USA

  • Ag Growth International Inc.
  • Logistec Corp.
  • Boralex

  • EnPro Industries

  • Tennant Company
  • TriMas Corporation
  • Circor International
  • Enerpac Tool Group Corp.
  • CSW Industrials

5.5 Elements of Compensation

There are three main components to the remuneration for the NEOs: a base salary, an annual incentive plan (bonus) and a long-term incentive plan.

Base Salary

The base salary of the NEOs reflects the hierarchical level, the responsibilities and the complexity of each position. The base salary is reviewed annually and salary adjustments are based on individual performance and on the Corporation's results, without the Corporation conducting market analyses or referring to a specific industry peer group.

Performance Bonus

The NEOs are eligible for a performance bonus. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the CEO was entitled to a performance bonus starting at 90% of achievement of targets and up to 200% of his base salary, if the 2025 budgeted consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, tax and amortization ("EBITDA") in dollars and

13


margin, budgeted revenue and personal objectives were outperformed. The other NEOs were each entitled to a performance bonus, at the discretion of the CEO, based on certain criteria and goals. The Board has determined that it is common practice for a public company to award an annual performance bonus to certain NEOs when performance targets are met, allowing to align their interests with those of the Corporation and allowing them to participate in the financial success of the Corporation or of their division.

The following table indicates the composition of the 2025 financial objectives, the target bonus and the bonus earned by the NEOs, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Name Objectives Target Bonus ($) Bonus Earned ($)
Sébastien Bourassa
President and Chief Executive Officer Budgeted EBITDA and Revenue (80%)
Personal Objectives (20%) 775,000 736,250
Stephen Reitknecht
Chief Financial Officer Budgeted EBITDA and Revenue (80%)
Personal Objectives (20%) 142,500 135,375
Marcel Bourassa
Executive Chairman Budgeted EBITDA and Revenue (80%)
Personal Objectives (20%) 1,250,000 1,187,500
Jean-Philippe De Montigny
President, Europe Accessibility and
Chief Transformation Officer Budgeted EBITDA and Revenue (80%)
Personal Objectives (20%) 575,000 546,250
Alexandre Bourassa
President, North America Accessibility Budgeted EBITDA and Revenue (80%)
Personal Objectives (20%) 410,000 385,400

The Corporation does not disclose the budgeted or realized EBITDA of its subsidiaries as this information is confidential and its disclosure could seriously compromise the Corporation's interests, placing it at a competitive disadvantage.

Long-term Incentive – Stock Options

The Board has determined that it is common practice for a public company to award long-term incentive to certain NEOs when being appointed and/or performance targets are met, allowing to align their interest with those of the Corporation and its shareholders. The Board approved a stock option plan for the Corporation in 2006 (the "Stock Option Plan"). Each option granted under the Stock Option Plan allows its holder to purchase one common share of the Corporation. For more details on the Stock Option Plan, refer to Section 6.2 Stock Option Plan below.

The number of stock options granted is suggested by the President and CEO and approved by the Board as the case may be. The grant process is very simple and does not follow any specific criteria.

S&P/TSX SmallCap Index ($) 100 118 105 107 124 183

Savaria's executive compensation policy emphasizes incentive compensation linked to the success of the Corporation to ensure that the financial interests of the Corporation's executives are closely aligned with those of shareholders. Executive compensation is not directly linked to the performance of the Corporation's share price.

6.2 Stock Option Plan

The Corporation has in place a 10% rolling Stock Option Plan pursuant to which the Board may grant options to purchase common shares to Board members, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation or its subsidiaries. The full text of the Stock Option Plan is available under the Corporation's profile on SEDAR+'s website at www.sedarplus.ca. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Option Plan.

On March 4, 2026, the Board approved amendments to the Stock Option Plan to align the vesting and exercise periods in the following manner:

  • For Optionees who are Employee, Officer or Consultant:

  • Optionee who either retires or suffers from a disability or illness, and consequently ceases their role as Employee, Officer or Consultant, will continue to cumulate vesting rights until the expiration of the stock options, all of which will then need to be exercised by the applicable expiry date. (Previously, these Optionees did not cumulate any vesting rights after such event and had 90 days to exercise vested stock options.)

  • Upon dismissal not for cause, an Optionee will have 90 days to exercise all vested stock options, and all unvested ones will be automatically cancelled.
  • Optionee who resigns for a reason other than going to work for a company that is within the same business sector as the Corporation's group of companies will have 30 days to exercise vested stock options. If an Optionee resigns to go work for a company that is within the same business sector as the Corporation's group of companies, all pending stock options, vested or not, will automatically be cancelled.

19


  • Optionees who are Board members of the Corporation, who (i) retire; (ii) become unable to perform their mandate due to disability or illness; (iii) resign; (iv) are not re-elected or elected at Corporation annual shareholders' general meeting; (v) are not presented for re-election at Corporation annual shareholders' general meeting or (vi) cease functions for such other circumstances as may be approved by the Corporation's board of directors, will have 24 months to exercise vested stock options of the date of such of an event. Previously, these Optionees had one year to exercise vested stock options for any of the following events: (i) became unable to perform their mandate due to disability or illness; (ii) retirement; (iii) resignation or (iv) ceased functions for such other circumstances as may be approved by the Corporation's board of directors.

Administration. The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board which may delegate any or all of its authority with respect to the administration of the Stock Option Plan to such committee of the Corporation as the Board may designate, subject to applicable laws or requirements of any applicable regulatory authority or stock exchange.

Grants. The Board shall determine the optionees (each, an "Optionee"), the terms and provisions of the respective option agreements, the time or times at which such options shall be granted and vested, and the number of common shares to be subject to each option.

Plan Maximum. A maximum number of common shares equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares, from time to time, are reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan. If option rights granted to an Optionee under the Stock Option Plan are exercised, expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised, such shares may be made available for other options to be granted under the Stock Option Plan.

Assignability. An option granted under the Stock Option Plan shall not be transferable or assignable (whether absolutely or by way of mortgage, pledge or other charge) by an Optionee, other than by will or other testamentary instrument or the laws of succession.

Insider Participation Limit. The number of securities:

i. issuable to insiders, at any time, under all security-based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of issued and outstanding securities; and
ii. issued to insiders, within any one-year period, under all security-based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of issued and outstanding securities.

Maximum Issuable to One Person. No individual Optionee may be granted options to purchase common shares totaling more than 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares at any time, from time to time.

Non-Employee Board Member Participation Limit. The aggregate value of the participation in equity plans of any one non-employee Board member in any 12-month period shall not exceed $150,000 at the date of grant, of which no more than $100,000 can be provided in the form of options.

Exercise Price. The exercise price for an option shall be the closing price of the common shares on the TSX on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date or, if no common shares have been traded on such immediately preceding trading day, the simple average of the final bid and ask price of the common shares on the TSX, or such greater amount as the Board may designate.

Vesting and Exercise. Subject to the Optionee meeting any vesting provisions contained in an option agreement, and subject to complying with the Corporation's administrative policy regarding the timing of the exercise of options, any option granted under the Stock Option Plan may be exercised by an Optionee by giving notice to the Corporation specifying the number of common shares in respect of which such option is being exercised, accompanied by payment of the entire exercise price for the number of common shares specified in the notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may elect to use the cashless process put in place by the Corporation via a third-party broker.

Term. Each option granted under the Stock Option Plan shall expire on the date set out in the corresponding option agreement, subject to earlier termination as provided under the Stock Option Plan. In no circumstances shall the duration of an option exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Should the expiration date of an option fall within a blackout period or within nine business days following the expiration of a blackout period, such expiration date shall be automatically extended without any further act or formality to that date which is the 10th

20


business day after the end of any such blackout period, such 10th business day to be considered the expiration of the terms of such option for all purposes under the Stock Option Plan.

Early Termination

If an Optionee is dismissed by the Corporation, or by one of its subsidiaries, for cause or resigns to go work for a company that is within the same business sector as the Corporation's group of companies, all unexercised option rights of such Optionee under the Stock Option Plan shall terminate immediately upon any such foregoing event, notwithstanding the original term of the option granted to such Optionee.

If an Optionee ceases to be an officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation or of one of its subsidiaries as a result of:
- disability or illness preventing the Optionee from performing the duties routinely performed by such Optionee; or
- retirement at the normal retirement age prescribed by the Corporation's pension plan;

the Optionee will continue to cumulate vesting rights on unvested options and shall have the right, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the option agreement, to exercise such options until the applicable expiration date.

If an Optionee ceases to be an officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation or of one of its subsidiaries as a result of:
- resignation for a reason other than to go work for a company that is within the same business sector as the Corporation's group of companies;
- is dismissed not for cause; or
- such other circumstances as may be approved by the Board,

such Optionee shall have the right, for a period not exceeding 30 days from the date of resignation and 90 days from the date of dismissal not for cause, (or, if earlier, until the expiry date of the options), to exercise any outstanding vested options such Optionee held on the date of such event.

If an Optionee ceases to be a Board member of the Corporation as a result of:
- disability or illness preventing the Optionee from performing the duties routinely performed by such Optionee;
- retirement at the normal retirement age prescribed by the Corporation's pension plan;
- resignation;
- not presented for re-election at the Corporation annual shareholders' general meeting;
- not elected or re-elected at the Corporation shareholders' annual general meeting; or
- such other circumstances as may be approved by the Board,

In the event of the death of an Optionee, the legal representatives of the deceased Optionee shall have the right for a period not exceeding one year from the date of death (or, if earlier, until the expiry date of the options) to exercise the outstanding vested options the Optionee held on the date of death.

Clawback

Incentive compensation awarded to an Optionee may become forfeited and such Optionee may have to reimburse all or a portion of the incentive compensation paid or awarded under the Stock Option Plan, to the extent required by applicable laws, rules or regulations of any regulatory authorities having jurisdiction or any relevant stock exchange or by any clawback policy adopted by the Corporation from time to time.

Change of Control

Under the Stock Option Plan, in the event of a change of control, all outstanding options will be converted into or substituted by alternative awards to the extent possible, and outstanding options which are not converted into or substituted by an alternative award shall vest and become exercisable in full immediately prior to the completion of the transaction constituting the change of control.

If alternative awards are available and an Optionee is terminated without cause or submits a resignation for good reason within 24 calendar months after a change of control, all outstanding alternative awards which are not then exercisable shall vest and alternative awards in which options were converted will become exercisable in full upon such termination or resignation and shall remain exercisable until the earlier of: (i) one year after the

21


termination or resignation; and (ii) the original expiry date of the options, after which time all such alternative awards will expire.

For the purpose of the Stock Option Plan, a “change of control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a reorganization, acquisition, amalgamation or merger (or a plan or arrangement in connection with any of the foregoing), other than solely involving the Corporation and one or more of its affiliates, with respect to which all or substantially all of the persons who were the beneficial owners of the common shares immediately prior to such reorganization, amalgamation, merger or plan of arrangement do not, following such reorganization, amalgamation, merger or plan of arrangement, beneficially own, directly or indirectly more than 50% of the resulting voting share on a fully diluted basis (for greater certainty, this shall not include a public offering or private placement out of treasury); or (ii) the sale to a person other than an affiliate of the Corporation of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets; or (iii) the nominees named in the most recent management information circular of the Corporation for election to the board of directors no longer constitute a majority of the members of the board as a result of or in connection with: (A) a contested election of directors; or (B) a reorganization, amalgamation, merger, business combination, consolidation or other transaction or series of transactions involving the Corporation or any of its affiliates and another corporation or other entity.

For the purposes of the Stock Option Plan, an “alternative award” must, in the opinion of the Board:

A. be based on shares that are traded on an established Canadian or U.S. securities market;

B. provide the Optionee with rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better than the rights, terms and conditions applicable to the Optionee’s outstanding options, including, but not limited to, an identical or better exercise or vesting schedule and identical or better timing and methods of payment; and

C. have substantially equivalent economic value to the Optionee’s outstanding options (determined as at the time of the change of control).

Amendment. The Stock Option Plan includes an amendment provision pursuant to which the Board may amend, suspend or discontinue the Stock Option Plan at any time or, from time to time, amend or revise the terms of any previously granted options, without obtaining shareholder approval, provided that such action must:

i. not materially adversely alter or impair the rights of any Optionee, without the consent of the latter, except as permitted by the provisions of the Stock Option Plan;

ii. be in compliance with applicable laws and with the prior approval, if required, of any applicable regulatory authority or stock exchange; and

b. any change that is necessary or desirable to comply with applicable laws or regulations or the requirements of any applicable regulatory authority or stock exchange;

c. correct or rectify any ambiguity, defective provision, error or omission in the Stock Option Plan or make amendments of a “housekeeping” nature;

d. amend any terms relating to the administration of the Stock Option Plan; and

22


e. make any other amendment that does not require shareholder approval by virtue of the Stock Option Plan, applicable laws or regulations or the requirements of any applicable regulatory authority or stock exchange.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the votes attached to all common shares of the Corporation is required if the amendments relate to the following:

i. an increase to the maximum number of common shares issuable under the Stock Option Plan, except in the case of an adjustment following Alterations in Common Shares as described above;
ii. an increase in the number of common shares that are issuable or that may be issued to insiders or to any one Optionee under the Stock Option Plan, except in the case of an adjustment following Alterations in Common Shares as described above;
iii. any amendment to the non-employee Board member participation limit;
iv. any amendment to permit any award granted under the Stock Option Plan to be transferable or assignable other than by will or other testamentary instrument or the laws of succession;

vi. an extension of the term of an option beyond the original expiry date, except in case of an extension due to a blackout period; and
vii. any amendment to the amendment provisions of the Stock Option Plan.

Shareholder Approval. The TSX requires listed companies to seek shareholder approval on a three-year cycle of all unallocated entitlements under any security-based compensation arrangement which does not have a fixed maximum number of securities issuable thereunder. In accordance with such policy, shareholders of the Corporation last approved all unallocated options under the Stock Option Plan at the annual and special meeting held on May 9, 2024.

Burn Rate. The following table sets out the annual burn rate of the options granted under the Stock Option Plan for the three preceding financial years. The burn rate is calculated by dividing the number of options granted under the Stock Option Plan during the relevant fiscal year by the weighted average number of securities outstanding for the applicable financial year.

Years ended December 31 2025 2024 2023
Annual Burn Rate 1.3% 2.0% 0.6%

The Corporation adopted an Advance Notice By-Law providing shareholders with the framework to exercise their right to submit director nominations prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders by fixing a deadline by which such nominations must be submitted and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the written notice to the Corporation for any director nominee to be eligible for election at such annual or special meeting of shareholders.

The Advance Notice Provisions fix a deadline by which shareholders must submit director nominations to the Corporation prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders. In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to the secretary of the Corporation must be made not less than 30 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement. In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting) called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes as well), notice to the Corporation must be made not later than the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.

For the purposes of the Advance Notice By-law, "public announcement" means disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service in Canada, or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation under its profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The Advance Notice By-law will be subject to review by the Board, and will be updated from time to time to reflect changes required by securities regulatory agencies or stock exchanges, or to conform to industry standards.

Gender Diversity and Board Term

The Corporation values diversity of views, experience, skill sets, gender and ethnicity and supports the identification and nomination of women directors and candidates for executive officer positions. However, gender diversity is only one factor out of many that is taken into account in identifying and selecting Board members and in considering the hiring, promotion and appointment of executive officers.

The Committee carefully examines the composition of the Board, more specifically its size, the professional skill set of each individual and the sectors of activity. The Committee must ensure that the directors collectively have all the relevant skills, experience and qualities enabling them to meet the challenges which the Corporation faces and that they form a strong independent Board allowing them to better serve the interests of the shareholders in the long term.

The Corporation has three women on the Board. The Corporation wishes to emphasize that it has a succession plan in place for its executive management, which focuses on regular performance evaluations and other processes (including, but not limited to, development and career planning), as well as invests and mentors all of its executive officers, regardless of their gender. The Corporation recognizes that in order to achieve a better, more representative balance between men and women on the Board and in executive officer positions, it must ensure that this talent pipeline is properly developed.

The Corporation has not set any specific targets with regards to the representation of women on the Board or in executive officer positions, nor has it adopted a policy to that effect, but focuses instead on choosing the most appropriate candidate for the position.

The Corporation has considered whether or not to impose a mandatory Board term for its board members and will continue to do so. To date, the Corporation believes that adopting such a policy is not appropriate for its Board. In fact, the Corporation considers that its annual assessment process is the most efficient and transparent manner to evaluate the Board members and it ensures that Board members provide an added value and provide

28


a strong contribution to the Corporation. The current Board structure takes all these objectives into consideration.

Skills Matrix

The Committee maintains a "skills matrix" for the Board where each director is asked to indicate his or her experience which is compiled into the matrix. The skills matrix allows the Board to easily review the Board skills composition to ensure the Board's expertise is well rounded. The results are reviewed, analyzed and discussed by the full Board. The contents of the skills matrix for the directors seeking re-election, as the case may be, are as follows:

| Skills and Experience
(level of expertise 1 to 5) | Marcel Bourassa | Jean-Marie Bourassa | Sébastien Bourassa | Caroline Bérubé | Jean-Louis Chapdelaine | Sylvain Dumoulin | Peter Drutz | Anne Le Breton | Pernilla Lindén | Alain Tremblay |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Entrepreneurship | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
| Financial literacy | 5 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 |
| Corporate governance | 4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 |
| Compensation, labour relations, human resources | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| Senior executive leadership | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Corporate social responsibilities and ESG | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| Marketing, communications | 5 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 4 |
| Manufacturing and retail industries | 5 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 |
| Mergers and acquisitions | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

Majority Voting Policy

As part of its ongoing review of corporate governance practices, the Corporation's Board adopted the policy on majority voting for director nominees, which provides that in an uncontested election of directors, if the number of shares withheld from voting for any nominee exceeds the number of shares voted for such nominee, then, notwithstanding that such nominee was duly elected as a director, he or she shall, within five days following the date of the final scrutineer's report on the ballot, tender his or her written resignation to the Executive Chairman of the Board. According to this policy, the Committee will then consider such offer of resignation and will make a recommendation to the Executive Chairman of the Board concerning the acceptance or rejection of the resignation. In its deliberations, the Committee will consider all factors deemed relevant. The Board will take formal action on the Committee's recommendation no later than 90 days following the date of the applicable annual meeting and will announce its decision via press release. No director who is required to tender his or her resignation shall participate in the Committee's deliberations or recommendations or in the Board's deliberations or determination. In the event any director fails to tender his or her written resignation when required to do so in the circumstances described above, such director will not be put forward by the Board as a nominee at the next annual meeting where directors are to be elected. If a resignation is accepted by the Board, and subject to any corporate law restrictions, the policy provides that the Board may either leave any resulting vacancy unfilled until the next annual meeting, appoint a new director, who the Board considers to merit the confidence of the shareholders, to fill the vacancy, or call a special meeting of shareholders at which there will be presented a management slate to fill the vacant position or positions. It should be noted that this policy only applies to uncontested elections (i.e. an election where the only nominees are those recommended by the Board) and does not apply in the case where the election involves a proxy battle.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Corporation's orientation process for all new members of the Board encompasses presentations made by various officers and key executives primarily related to the Corporation's organizational structure and the nature and operation of its businesses in North America, Europe and Asia. In addition, an overall view of the role of the Board and its Committees is discussed as well as the contribution individual directors are anticipated to make to

29


the Corporation. All new directors are provided with a director's guide that contains up-to-date documentation, including, among other things, basic information on the Corporation and its industry.

Directors also interact with executives and senior management at every Board meeting where they are exposed to a wide variety of presentations on business growth strategy and on the overall outlook of the Corporation's worldwide operations and challenges.

In addition, throughout the year, the directors are provided with educational reading materials and presentations on corporate governance, financial strategy, risk assessment, disclosure requirements as well as other topics.

Chief Executive Officer and Executive Succession Planning

Succession planning for the President and CEO and executive management has always been a key focus of the Board, therefore ensuring the continuity of executive management. The Board and the Committee, in collaboration with the President and CEO, carry out an annual review of the succession planning process. As part of the annual process, the President and CEO, reviews numerous candidacies among their respective divisions for various, Vice President positions.

Compensation

The Committee has the responsibility for evaluating the compensation of the President and Chief Executive Officer, including the equity-based and incentive compensation plans, policies and programs of the Corporation and make recommendations to the Board accordingly. For more details, refer to the heading "Compensation of Named Executive Officers" in this Circular.

Board, Committee and Member Assessments

The Committee examines on an annual basis, together with the Lead Director, the performance and contribution of directors nominated for re-election and ensures that they are still eligible pursuant to applicable laws. The Committee reviews the size of the Board on an annual basis and reports to the Board. In addition, the Lead Director coordinates an annual questionnaire with each director to assess the operation of the Board and its committees, the participation of individual directors, the adequacy of information given to directors and communication between the Board and Management. Thereafter, the Lead Director reports the assessment to the Board.

Audit Committee and Other Board Committees

Information relating to the Audit Committee of the Corporation may be found under the heading "Audit Committee Disclosure" in the 2025 Annual Information Form, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Information relating to the Corporate Governance and Human Capital Committee of the Corporation can be found under Schedule B of this Circular.

Clawback Policy

The Corporation may recoup or cancel incentives or equity-awards of executive officers in the case of a financial restatement or other misconduct.

Anti-Hedging Policy

The Board did not adopt such policy considering that directors and NEOs are governed by securities legislation which requires them to disclose all transactions related to their shareholdings including any derivative instruments (i.e. anti-hedging) purchased. To the Corporation's knowledge, none of its directors or NEOs has hedged their respective shares in the Corporation.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Corporation has in place a written code of ethics and conduct for its directors, officers and employees (the "Code"). The Code may be consulted on the Corporation's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or its website at www.savaria.com. The Board is responsible for the Code's implementation within the Corporation. The Code is distributed and acknowledged by each employee of the Corporation upon hire. The Code pertains namely to conflicts of interest, the use of the Corporation's assets, fair treatment of clients, suppliers, competitors and other

30


Corporation employees. In addition, the Code includes an accounting whistleblowing policy and a communication policy, the purpose of which is to provide a framework for the Corporation's communications to the investing public to ensure that they are issued in a timely manner by authorized representatives of the Corporation, and that they comply with relevant legal and regulatory requirements. Pursuant to the Code, all employees of the Corporation shall report any activity which seems not to be in line with the Code or laws and regulations.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environment

The Corporation appointed the Corporate Governance and Human Capital Committee to deal with a variety of issues relating to CSR and the environment (now part of ESG), both from an operation level as well as at the corporate level. The main issues that the Corporation is facing are related to environmental sustainability, health and safety, people and culture, and communities and giving. The Corporation recognizes the importance of making responsible decisions that will reduce its business's negative impact on the environment and has established programs to increase the efficient use of energy and natural resources, in order to manage and reduce the Corporation's environmental impact on operations. Such programs include, but are not limited to, improving energy efficiency, reducing paper usage in its business processes and sourcing environmentally preferable paper, electronics and other commodities, and engaging employees to participate in its environmental responsibility programs (i.e. waste management, recycling, etc.).
